I'm still against this because this should really be fixed in iconv instead.

I think we need to add a character set override mechanism to Horde. I have a user that received a message in ks_c_5601-1987 (sent via Outlook in Korean). This is a valid character set according to RFC 1345 and IANA (http://www.iana.org/assignments/character-sets) libiconv claims to support this character set in their docs, but the software doesn't actually support it. $ iconv --version iconv (GNU libiconv 1.13) Copyright (C) 2000-2009 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

I digged into this problem more and I found iconv installed on my system fails to convert ks_c_5601-1987. It looks like the bug of iconv. Sorry for the inconvenience! :)

No, we won't work around certain charsets. What sort of client is using this charset?

ks_c_5601-1987 is the same charset with 'euc-kr' but iconv or mbstring doesn't seem to support it. Silently replacing 'ks_c_5601-1987' with 'euc-kr' will be ok.
